I would be a little leery about buying in just to collect a special dividend as they usually reflect directly on the stock price.
What's LP or MMP mean?
True enough. This board was great in the months before Obama changed the tax laws and corps were dumping their cash as special dividends. That was a very short term period.
However, I'm looking for a stock paying 7%+ dividend that has earnings to boot. zebra was a decent source for them.
In other words, you're talking about blue chip growth stocks, and right now I'm looking for an LP or MMP or preferred with a healthy dividend. I sold all my SPH yesterday and am looking for a replacement.
Better to invest in stocks with a history of dividend growth while maintaining a very low yield.
An insane yield is often a symptom of a sick company.
What happened to you? I need a dividend idea today.
That's what I was thinking. :)
I wouldn't say that qualifies as an "insane" dividend.
CenterPoint Energy, Inc. declares $0.2375 dividend

Then quit responding numbnuts. This is a dividend board. Let us know when chunks of silver starts paying out a dividend.
Your perception of reality is about as important to me as you are.
Well ahl ah no is this retarded purson's account went up a hole bunch and yurs tanked.
You do understand the word "reality", right?
I never said the market didn't out perform metals last year. You said that. "The market" (OMG LMFAO!) did, "outperform" (Bwa-ha-ha-ha!) metals but not because of any inherent market based reasons. If true price discovery were the determinant of value you'd be chirping a different tune.
Unless you are retarded, you should know precious metals were targeted for suppression to protect the dollar, interest rates, derivative exposure, and the bond market.
Unless you are even further retarded, you also realize the facade of manicured and tampered economic data cannot last indefinitely. Sooner or later economic reality comes home to roost.
The powers that be manipulate everything from Libor rates, the stock market, the oil market, the diamond market, to energy markets, and it isn't going to end well. The dupes will go down with the ship blaming all the wrong reasons, but still toeing the party line.
Rest assured, I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You aren't that important.
Someone once pointed out to me the advantage of buying silver quarters was, at the very least, you can put them into a coke machine.
I've read so many ridiculous arguments on Ihub from penny stock mullets who swear one day they will be rich, however NEVER have I ever had one argue that history was wrong. The fact that you are arguing with many that the market didn't outperform metals over the last few years is not only beyond belief, but proof positive you are a bonafide nutjob.
What's a reliable source for bullion coins nowadays? I don't mean some double-wide with a PO Box in Utah.
I remember large banks selling gold in the 80s. Some of the large mutual fund companies had precious metals divisions then too.
It ain't a theory, it's a fact (see London Gold Pool et al). Folks will find out sooner or later. The smart ones will be sooner, ...
It ain't about betting on the right horse. The track is rigged.
By the time the dupes in the west figure it out it will be too late for them.
I don't care to proselytize to anyone. You've either figured it out already or you haven't. In terms of time and effort, the cost to benefit ratio to start from scratch and "'splain it" ain't there. It just isn't worth my time. Besides, there are lots better sources for you to educate yourself if you are so inclined.
Paper dollars were fabulous investments in '29. The Depression saw 30% deflation in a few years. Bucks under the mattress were one of the best things one could have, at least in the U.S., and certainly better than the 20s version of penny stocks.
I've heard these same arguments since 1980 when metals soared (silver to $50!)and collapsed.
I'm all for intelligent economic debate. But what remains on the metals boards are a handful of conspiracy nutcases that seem to get wackier with every new high of the stock market.
They bet heavily... and on the wrong horse.
Because they are not wrong. The rest of the world has it figured out, it's only the deluded dupes in the west that are believing the fairy tale of a "recovery." They still see precious metals as a "trade" LMFAO!
The gains in the stock market since 2008 are a putrid veneer hand smeared over a corrupted trading structure on the verge of collapse. You can't fund debt with additional debt indefinitely.
The markets were setting new 52 week highs on a daily basis in 1929 too. Guys in the stock market are gonna get it handed to them. Best thing you can do right now is buy physical Silver. When the financial reset occurs, silver sands to gain the most, percentage wise. Nobody is gonna want dollars.
Absolutely agree!
Have you looked at the smaller gold boards lately? No one admits they've been wrong, terribly wrong.
But posting numbers have collapsed. What's left are the hard core nutcakes.... perhaps posting from their Montana cabins. Never once do they point to the stock market's incredible 5 year run. Some have been short that whole time, LOL! A couple have really gone off the deep end in recent months.
Gotta run for my Illuminati Masonic meeting...
Sure. Nice pick on that gold and silver this year. Maybe next year.
So what. I post on lots of boards. Doesn't mean I buy them all. I wouldn't mind picking up some of those but I got other faves ahead of them. You are out of your depth so why not quit while you think you're ahead.
What I find most intriguing of all about Ihubbers, are people's unwillingness to ever admit they were wrong. Boggles the mind. It's not even like I know who they are, but it would tarnish their image as a fake person I guess.
If, this year, you can't say buying gold was a mistake, then how can I take anything else you might say with any validity.
FWIW, I've spent countless hours on these boards pointing out scam stocks to witless posters, and the amount of times they eventually apologize or thank me for my efforts are minute.....although some do.
Wrong on that score too LMFAO.
People use the same argument as the gold bugs do about buying physical gold as justification for buying non-existent Bit-Coins as well, so go figure..
That's why tracking their picks by what they actually put in their profile as their picks, would be awesome. No more could they lie about their results. Once they remove the pick, the price would be marked. Talk is cheap. I'd actually like to see a small cap tracker and a large or medium cap tracker. THEN Ihub would actually have value.
I'd be like the penny pick sites that claim "98% of our hot picks have risen", but the time frame can be anywhere from a hour to years later. And selling even an hour later at market is often impossible.
What's needed are educated and less greedy investors. Wonder if Buffett ever used the word "bagger?" Most IHUB flippers would be surprised to learn the world's 2nd wealthiest man only averaged about 20% growth a year.
Oh wait! You're an NBRI guy! That explains much.
LOL! Nothing like being proven dead wrong, then not having the time to explain why doing the right thing was ignorant.
You are aware you can just look at results to see how wrong you are, right?
Not that I have anything against buying commodities, but it was the absolute worst place to be this year. It's alright, you can say it. It'll only hurt for a moment.
BTW, why are you on the "insane dividends" board if you're buying hunks of metal?
Like I said, use your best judgement and I hope everything works out well for you. And yeah, I did mean ignorant.
I don't have the time or inclination to straighten you out.
ignorant?? Seriously?? You believe owning stuff that drops is better than owning things that go up??
So I'm guessing you don't actually trade stocks then?
Nothing new. I've heard that and similar ignorant arguments before. Use your best judgement then, hope it works out for you.
Well no. The market is at all time highs while people with gold and silver have seen it drop in value. The absolute wrong thing to be in this year was precious metals.
You're not even getting any sort of dividend to hold it.
Just think of how much more gold you could buy today vs a year ago, had you been in the market now.
Let it unfold, or, as Radar used to say (on MASH) "wait for it..."
It's over due. I think the dew-dew hits the fan in 2014. Buy physical gold and silver. Better to be a month early than a day late. GL fd
I'm not interested in the most popular stock, however I recommended to admin they find a way to make note of those Ihubbers who have actually performed well based on their stock picks in their profile.
I'd love to actually know who can pick stocks vs who can hype them. Right now, they give a yellow star out to whoever makes the most ridiculous and outrageous promises.
A decade ago some energetic, math loving IHUBer tried tracking the performance of IHUB's most popular stocks... A Dow 30 for IHUB. He created a board for that specific purpose and seemed to have his methodology perfected.
But that board didn't last long. Perhaps a few months as I recall. And no one seemed to miss it when the project was abandoned.
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation (WMC) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter/year-end dividend of $2.35 for each common share payable in a combination of cash and stock.
Uh-Oh... The news is not good, fung derf. The stupidity on wall street and Washington dc takes a back seat to nobody, not even IHUBers LoL!
bar1080 is right about the average rate of returns with one caveat, however. The ones that "stampeded into gold and silver last year" were right if they held and continue to accumulate.
All the same deficit spending and currency debasement reasons that have been the "writing on the wall" (read flashing neon lights LoL) since late '08 are still there now only way worse.
The ones that stampeded out are the ones with no Harley, no bass boat and no physical gold or silver either LoL!
I hate that you use Ihubbers to compare society trends. I hope for the sake of future civilizations that this site isn't an average sampling of the common man.
I doubt 1% of IHUBers have matched the S&P since the dot com days. (not counting some crooks of course). For example, all those I saw piling into 3X Short funds... in 2009. Or those who stampeded into gold or silver last year.
Most online flippers have no idea how poorly they've done. And they lie online, to their spouses, and to themselves.
The goal of most here is to buy a Harley and a bigger bass boat. And they ain't even doing that!
Gotta run... to work.
Yes, that is most definitely true, however, Ihubbers are a special breed. They don't want to know the truth, they want to be lied to.
An index fund is the only fund in existence guaranteed to underperform it's own index. Why would I want that?
Mention S&P index funds during 90s and "the fresh meat" would convulse in laughter. They'd ask why anyone would settle for "average." On IHUB all "players" are above average.
Then the tech bubble broke.
I've noticed that index funds get some respect here lately. I've always used IHUB as a contrarian indicator. The S&P 500 has lagged most things this year. Even my individual stocks have soundly topped the S&P in 2013.
IHUB's a damn good indicator of what not to do.
FWIW, Just about every American Funds fund beat the index over the last 1,3 and 5 year period.
I'm not an index fan.
I mod the BRK board but I don't own the stock. I pretty much plunged into reading about Buffett recently. As a long time investor I know the usual stuff about him of course. But there's a lot I've learned. Plus he's pretty interesting on other levels.
"can you name a better money manager." My index funds have squarely beaten him over the last five years. Perhaps the best manager is no manager. LOL Buying index funds with leverage (which BRK uses) and sticking with that, might produce long-term returns approaching his.
And index funds pay dividends which don't show up on most charts.
And many are working pumps and dumps on people with little money.
I've owned BRK in the past and done well with it. Many years ago I recall, when I asked why they would buy it, they said, "name me a better mutual fund manager."....good point, at that time BRK was around $13k.
Of course the downside is, no dividends paid out ever, and Warren is getting up there in years and I fear, if he gets sick, there will be a bailout.

I have done extensive research on numerous companies that pay dividends, but i know if everyone here at IHUB posts stocks or mutual funds that pays outrageous dividends, then we can all save tons of time and energy doing it ourselves.
I will post links to all that are worthy here in the IBOX.
thank you in advance to all that participate.
please post the highest % yielding dividend stocks that you can find.
Explanation of Dividend Dates
Ex-dividend: To receive a declared dividend the shares must be purchased before the ex-dividend date. If you buy on or after ex-dividend date you are not entitled to receive the current dividend.
Record date: The record date is the date by which an investor must be registered as a shareholder to be entitled to a dividend.
Payment date: The date of which the dividend is paid out.
You can sell the stock on the ex-dividend date of and still get the dividend but you would not make any money. Every time a dividend is paid, the closing price on the day before the ex-dividend is adjusted downward by the dividend amount.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(Stock Dividend section)
Sometimes a company pays a dividend in the form of stock rather than cash. The stock dividend may be additional shares in the company or in a subsidiary being spun off. The procedures for stock dividends may be different from cash dividends. The ex-dividend date is set the first business day after the stock dividend is paid (and is also after the record date).
If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend. Your sale includes an obligation to deliver any shares acquired as a result of the dividend to the buyer of your shares, since the seller will receive an I.O.U. or "due bill" from his or her broker for the additional shares. Thus, it is important to remember that the day you can sell your shares without being obligated to deliver the additional shares is not the first business day after the record date, but usually is the first business day after the stock dividend is paid,

TAX info
Dividends are taxed either as ordinary income or as qualified dividends. A qualified dividend is a dividend on which the issuing company has already paid tax. The dividend is then taxed again on the shareholder's tax return, but at a lower qualified dividend tax rate. The tax rate on qualified dividends is 5% or 15% (depending on the individual's income tax rate). If the individual has a regular income tax rate of 25% or higher, then the qualified dividend tax rate is 15%. If the individual's income tax rate is less than 25%, then qualified dividends are taxed at the 5% rate.
Ordinary and qualified dividends are reported on Form 1099-DIV. All dividends paid will be reported as ordinary dividends on Form 1099-DIV box 1a. Some or all of these ordinary dividends may be qualified dividends. Qualified dividends are reported on Form 1099-DIV box 1b.
Dividends are reported on Form 1040 Schedule B and Form 1040 lines 9a and 9b
